My ongoing theme is always the truth, as I see it, and the exposure of lies, deception and manipulation wherever they exist. I remain firmly convinced that the world can no longer resist its innate urge to unite and co-operate with one another and we are very close to the point where war can no longer be an option if this transformation is to occur.

DANCING WITH THE ENEMY

Israeli
and Palestinian children being taught to dance together in Jaffa, Israel and in
the process learning to co-exist in cooperation, admiration and mutual respect.

Dancing with the Enemy may just be the long term solution to the
Palestinian/Israeli conflict for it is the children who will eventually get fed
up and impatient with their parents dogmas and prejudices and lead their
parents out of the dark prison of fear, occupation and apartheid towards the
light of freedom, social cooperation and altruism ~ and in the process break
down the Separation Wall of mutual hatred and distrust: Allen L Roland, Ph.D

"Remember love. The only hope for any of us is
peace. Violence begets violence. If you want to get peace, you can get it as
soon as you like if we all pull together: Get out there and get peace. Think
peace, live peace, and breathe peace and you'll get it as soon as you like,
Okay "

John Lennonto the press in July 1969 after the release of the Plastic Ono Band's
single "Give Peace a Chance", as quoted in The Beatles :
An Oral History by David Pritchard and Alan Lysaght (1998), p. 285

Separation
Barrier being built by Israelis in Jerusalem 2007

"Shall
we dance"
~ nervouslyspoken from a shy Palestinian boy to an equally nervous young Israeli girl,
is breaking down fear based separation walls that have existed in the Middle
East for decades.Renowned ballroom dancer Pierre Dulaine
returned to Jaffa to fulfill his lifelong dream of teaching dance to
Jewish-Israeli and Palestinian-Israeli children and theresults were both amazing and
illuminating.

Another
indication that children will eventually get tired of being conditioned bytheir parents prejudices and beliefs and fully
surrender to their evolutionary tendency to unite and cooperate with each other
and inspire an older generation, including myself, in this universal movement
towards love, peace and social cooperation~ which just so happen to be the driving forces
of evolution.

It
appears that humanitarian cracks are already appearing within the Israeli
military's iron rule over the Palestinians ~ Forty-three veterans of one of Israel’s most secretive
military intelligence units ~ many of them still active reservists ~ have
signed a public letter refusing to serve in operations involving the occupied
Palestinian territories because of the widespread surveillance of innocent
residents.

Now,
let's watch those Palestinian and Israeli children Dancing with the Enemy in
Jaffa and in the process going beneath their animosities and distrust and
finding instead commonality, friendship, cooperation and mutual respect. See
5 minute YouTube video

Why
do many of my former clients after finding the child within themselves feel a
need to be in service from a place of love and soul consciousness? Because deepest
within each one of us is the urge to unite and cooperate with each other and
not the need to control and destroy ~ and that includes combat veterans with
PTSDwhose only option, after service,
is often medication.

I
see this phenomenon every day as a heart centered consultant with therapists or
clients, veterans or non-veterans, helping them confront their childhood fears
of love and connection and realize that those fears are mainly illusions and
yet still controlling their lives. For example, see Marina overcoming and
growing through her illusionary fear of aloneness and of being voiceless and
embracing the joy beneath ~ YouTube session 5 ~https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r12MoNnwPKg&feature=youtu.be

I
also chose to show session #5 because Marina explains in the first 15 minutes
how she was seemingly cloaked in fear after the session ~ where she met her
emotionally trapped child within ~ afraid to be real and she completely
surrendered to the fear when she went to bed, deeply cried and woke up in the
morning completely alive and seeing through different eyes ~ much like Scrooge
in the Christmas Carol waking up on Christmas morning and seeing through
different eyes. As she explained, it was almost as if the authentic
child within her said ~ "Marina, you
must first feel my fear and accept my pain in order to get to my deeper joy,
intention, purpose and celebration."

The
pull of theUnified Field of love and soul
consciousness, deepest within us all, is like a soul magnet and once
acknowledged and activated through gratefulness ~ incidents and events
accelerate the transmutation process until true transformation finally occurs ~
the butterfly emerges from its cocoon into another world of
consciousness, cemented in altruism, social cooperation and the need to be in
service.

AND
DRUGS GET IN THE WAY OF THIS INTERNAL INTEGRATION PROCESS

Colonel Bart Billings is a military psychologist (retired after 34 years
of military service) who started the first U.S. annual conference on Combat
Stress more than 25 years ago. In all his years of practice with military
and Vets diagnosed "PTSD" he has never once had to prescribe a
mind-altering psychiatric drug and says the term PTSD is not a "mental
illness" but simply a normal reaction to an abnormal event, or
circumstances (combat/war) and that drugging our troops is not the solution.

Once you medicate, you all but terminate true integrative healing. Billings says that from 2005 to 2011, there has been a 700% increase in
the use of medication in the service with a corresponding increase in suicides.
Here's a recent video of Billings published on February 10, 2014. Eight
minute YouTube video ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F02HElsg8uI&list=PL79E9D68C92C00DAC&index=17

A new SFVA study
strongly suggests that soldiers who experience killing experiences are twice as
likely to attempt suicide ~ which strongly supports the reality of soul damage
as a contributing factor for the rising rate of veteran’s suicide as well as
the obvious need for a proven heart centered approach toward veteran
rehabilitation.And get this,the Defense
Department have found that pilots of drone aircraft, experiencing killing
experiences, also experience mental health problems like depression, anxiety
and post-traumatic stress disorder at the same rate as pilots of manned
aircraft.

This important April
13, 2012 research study abstract was entitled ~ KILLING
IN COMBAT MAY BE INDEPENDENTLY ASSOCIATED WITH SUICIDAL IDEATION~ and the SFVA released the following
abstract:

BACKGROUND:The United States military has lost more troops to suicide than to combat
for the second year in a row and better understanding combat-related risk
factors for suicide is critical. We examined the association of killing and
suicide among war veterans after accounting for PTSD, depression, and substance
use disorders.

METHODS:We utilized a cross-sectional, retrospective, nationally representative
sample of Vietnam veterans from the National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment
Study (NVVRS). In order to perform a more in depth analysis, we utilized a
subsample of these data, the NVVRS Clinical Interview Sample (CIS), which is
representative of 1.3 million veterans who were eligible for the clinical
interview by virtue of living in proximity to an interview site, located within
28 standard metropolitan regions throughout the United States.

RESULTS:Veterans who had higher killing experiences had twice the odds of
suicidal ideation, compared to those with lower or no killing experiences, and
substance use disorders were each associated with higher odds of suicidal
ideation. Endorsement of suicide attempts was most strongly
associated with PTSD.

CONCLUSIONS:Killing experiences are not routinely examined when assessing suicide
risk. Our findings have important implications for conducting suicide risk
assessments in veterans of war.See Report:

These findings offer
even more justification for heart centered workshops for combat veterans as
well as other heart centered counseling. We’re talking about soul damage here and
only a heart centered intervention can effectively treat that psychic
despondency ~ as I have consistently demonstrated with combat veterans who
have virtually all participated in killing experiences.

I have long felt and
have now proved that PTSD is quite often Post Traumatic Heart Disorder for a
common symptom of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is the inability to give or
receive love ~ which can obviously apply to non-veterans who have also
suffered significant loss

You don’t need to see
a therapist to understand this phenomenon, you don’t need to attend a workshop
to see this magic in action ~ all you need to do is see and understand your
life as a quest, versus a struggle, to realize that not only are we all loved
but that we are all part of a loving plan in action and gratefulness is the key
to this magic kingdom ~ God only reveals itself to a grateful heart.See my Article on the power of love ~http://www.veteranstoday.com/2014/02/04/only-love-truly-heals/

We must eventually
learn to dance with our enemies~ for the Palestinian and Israeli
children are telling us that our innate bonds of love, commonality and
friendship are far greater than our need todestroy
and hurt each other.

About Me

I'm a disabled active duty Navy veteran who was born in Boston, Massachusetts, survived a dysfunctional family, pursued and lived my dreams, including being a Navy carrier fighter pilot. I found myself by fully opening my heart, wrote three books, sired four children and I'm still living my ultimate dream by making a difference from a place of celebration and service. My 1998 PhD dissertation on the UNIFIED FIELD was chosen by Noetic Science and Common Boundary as one of the top three world finalists on combining psychology and spirituality. I retired from my private practice in 2014, because of my service connected asbestosis related lung disease, and live in Antioch, California but still remain involved as a featured columnist on Veterans Today and heart centered spiritual consultant and advisor ~ particularly with combat veterans with PTSD as well as others with PTHD ( Post Traumatic Heart Disorder).
